Garage off Track Repair

If your garage door is off track, it’s usually due to a broken cable, a misaligned track, an obstruction, or a hit to the door. This is a common issue — and often fixable without replacing the entire system. Use pliers to slightly open the track where the roller came out. Guide the roller back into the track. Use a mallet to gently reshape the track once it’s back in.

Disconnect the Garage Door Opener

Pull the red emergency release cord to disconnect the door from the opener. This allows you to move the door manually.

Secure the Door

If the door is partially open, prop it up with locking pliers on the track or a sturdy support under the door. Do not allow it to slam shut—this can damage the door and hurt someone.

Realign the Rollers

Guide the roller back into the track. Use a mallet to tap the track back into shape. Tighten any loose bolts or brackets.

Check Track Alignment

Use a level to make sure vertical and horizontal tracks are straight and parallel.

Reconnect the Opener

Pull the emergency cord toward the door to re-engage the opener trolley. Test manually first, then electronically.

Pull the emergency release cord (red rope) to disengage the opener trolley. If it's partially open, clamp the door to the tracks using locking pliers to stop it from falling.
